Oh sh!t.....Statemant from Krueger! That means Lallana will be sold in the next couple of days..;0(

Will you please stop this ridiculous knee jerk cynicism, what else would you hope our club would day on Rickies departure?
We can't offer Rickie what Liverpool offers him, he HAS given us 5 fabulous years, and it's sad he's going, but new opportunities will be offered.
Plus if Adam and Luke get the same opportunity how can we say no?
I believe we will still grow and develop as a club but right now I think we're being told the truth so let's judge the board and Kath by their and her actions shall we?
Judge at the end of this transfer window.

You're entitled to your opinion and assumptions but anyone could quite easily accuse you of building your assumptions on footings of sand. We were told by Krueger a few days ago that no transfers were going to be sanctioned until a new manager was in place and then two days later RL was virtually already an Diverpool player. He's come out and made the same noises and states that &quot;It remains our preference not to partake in any transfers until the manager is in place"?? That to me sounds a bit open to scrutiny and is hardly an assertive comment. If he had said something along the lines of " There will DEFINATELY NOT be any transfers" or "We can ASSURE the fans NO players will be sold" then maybe we could all be as positive as you.
Sounds to me that he's not divulging all the information and we could be reading another statement in a few days ala RL's transfer saying how they couldn't stand in the players way etc etc etc.
I suppose we'll just have to wait and see but in the mean time I'm not getting lured into any false sense of security and that is my prerogative.
Yes my comment may sound a tad sarcastic and down beat but I bet there are others feeling the same right now.

On one hand we've had countless "press reports" for weeks telling us that AL and LS were "on the brink" of signing for numerous clubs and nothing about RL going anywhere.
On the other hand we have a board statement telling us that yes we have received offers but we're rejecting them as long as we don't have a new manager, except for RL whom we let go at his request because of exceptional circumstances.
Facts: RL has gone to Liverpool and AL and LS are still here.

And yet you choose to believe the "press reports" over the board statement. Interesting....

I don't believe the press reports at all. My opinion is that I have my doubts as to the statements coming from Krueger are 100% true and feel they could be smoke screens before the inevitable happens. That's my opinion.
My post was about the statements he's made and what followed thus based on facts and there is no mention of the press anywhere in my comment.
Maybe you should read it again if you missed my point.

So if it's not the press reports, what makes you believe that there will be more players leaving?
Surely, it can't be just because the board are saying that they won't be selling any players and you think they are lying?
Would you believe them if they said they will be selling all our players?

It's the fluffy way that the statement is worded as I've already tried to explain. I'll make it a bit easier for you shall I??
He (Krueger) did not say they (the club) will" DEFINITELY NOT" or "CAN PROMISE" the fans that no transfers will go through before a new manager is in place.
Instead we got "IT REMAINS OUR PREFERENCE NOT TO PARTAKE IN ANY TRANSFERS" which is not a phrase that relays any real conviction in my opinion given what had recently happened with RL.
Crystal?

Sorry my lad, you are obviously not cut out to cope with stresses and strains of following Southampton FC, have you considered taking up macrame? You plainly cannot see positives in anything that is said, anyone can say anything, and it can have its nuance changed just my moving a punctuation mark or thinking that the word spoken has a different meaning. I guess if you were told black was white you would argue that it was actually a shade of gray?

Awwwwh....Is Little old Osprey getting annoyed about not getting the attention he craves.
Oh and it's "Grey" lassie.

No, not annoyed at all, gray is an acceptable alternative spelling these days. I don't crave attention, but the best way to avoid it is to ignor me, sorry if I rattled your cage, all I ask is that you think before you post and keep the negatives to a minimum, it upsets the morale of the troops, and they are under a great deal of stress at the moment. Get the decent new Manager in with a forward idea for us to work on and things will be OK. With or without Prima Donnas that don't want to be part of the New Order. Trust me, (I wouldn't coz I know me), it will be all right on the night.

Maybe you should have said "Charcoal" Ospers,or d'you feel that's a little too avant-garde?

No, I feel a bit stupid to be honest! Night all!"
